Mastering Metal Alloys

Some key considerations when designing metal alloys include distinguishability, security, ease of manufacturing, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and anti-bacterial properties.

Some material requirements for coins include distinguishability, difficulty to counterfeit, ease of manufacturing, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and anti-bacterial properties.

Copper has natural anti-bacterial properties.
